Avocado Margaritas!

Yes you read it correctly. AVOCADO Margaritas! I know this is a Mom’s healthy food blog but let me be the first to tell you that not EVERYTHING I write will all be about tofu and box jumping. Remember I am far from perfect and there are days I want to ring our boys necks (I know I am not the only one out there, right?!?!?!). On this blog, I take the opportunity to talk about how I need to stay sane and be a good Mama despite life’s tribulations. Most of the time, I will focus on spiritual, mental, and physical coping mechanisms but sometimes there is nothing like a cold beer, glass of wine or in this case AVOCADO Margarita that can help you deal with the stresses of the day. Hey, avocado is healthy right!?!?!? Hello, omega-3 baby.

Anyway, this is my first alcohol recipe on the blog (more to follow like my healthy spin to traditional Spanish Sangrias) but I could not resist in sharing this yummy recipe with you. Ben and I first heard about the idea of a Frozen Avocado Margarita’s from a local Mexican Restaurant in Austin called Curra’s Grill. Last weekend after a family run downtown around Town Lake, we decided to try out these infamous avocado margaritas. And they were AMAZING! We did have the kids with us so Ben and I refrained on only 1 each but ever since then I have been dreaming about how to recreate these yummy drinks at home.

Life can't be THAT serious. Kick back and enjoy your Avocado Frozen Margarita, you deserve it! And besides, it's half healthy, right?!?!

Author: Our Full Plate

Recipe type: Alcohol

Cuisine: Mexican

Serves: 3

Ingredients

¾ cups of store bought Margarita Mix

3 shots of tequila

1½ avocado (cut up fresh avocado without skin, de-pit and place in a freezer bag and freeze for a few hours before making margarita)

handful of ice

Optional: Limes and Salt

Instructions

Cut avocado in half, remove pit, and take out meat of avocado out of the shell. I put the avocado in a freezer safe ziplock bags and froze it for a few hours before blending.

Once avocados were frozen, place ice, frozen avocado, tequila and margarita mixer in the blender (add more alcohol or mixer to your liking). Originally, I did not put ice cubes thinking the frozen avocado was enough but after blending I realized you need a little ice to get that creamy frozen texture. You might have to add more ice than I did, particularly if your liquor melts the ice.

Blend and be ready to be wowed!

Optional: Wet rim of glass with a piece of lime, then dip into salt to give a salt rim.

So I fed this recipe to my non-Paleo husband and he actually loved it! He had two servings and both over your cauliflower rice. He said as long as he doesn’t have to sacrifice in flavor, he’ll eat Paleo all day long! A win for me!

I’ve made this several times and it is hands down the best paleo snack ever! Super versatile, super easy, and best of all paleo approved, toddler approved (super easy for them to help scoop all those dry infredients, we use a 1/4 cup so there are lots and lots of turns) and infantryman approved!!!
